Gisele Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Why the hell didn't we even try to throw deep to end the first half? With nine seconds to go it is very possible to get a pass interference call and move us into field goal range. Does Coach Dick have any balls? If you take away that meaningless carry for Lynch he only carried the ball twelve times...TWELVE FRIGGIN TIMES. JAURON, YOU ABSOLUTELY SUCK AT YOUR JOB. I'm sure your a nice guy though. Let's get a beer sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donahoeisgod Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Also, why not use your time outs... if I recall correctly, Miami had a first and goal at the 8 with approximately 1:20 left.and then ran twice before throwing. Since it was likely they would at least get a field goal attempt, we should have callled timeolut after each run. Yet we let the clock march down to fifteen seconds while not using our three timeouts in order to save the time sohuld they score. Maybe Dick was confused that he still had all three timeouts that late in the half and didn't react. Just another example of poor clock management by the Yale grad.

It's because deep down Dick knows that the coach on the other sidelines is better than he is -- and the timeouts would only serve to better prepare the opponent for the up coming play.

Cookiemonster Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 it's also very possible to throw a pick and have it returned... Correct, and they might be concerned about that if they were not playing for their lives. That was not the time to go in to a conservative cocoon, but honestly, that is where Jaron feels most comfortable. I had the very same thought as you when the final seconds were ticking off of the first half, we should have at least tried to get 3. I made a post around the second game of the season, stating that I think Jaron is feeling more confident in his players, and that he would finally start to shed some of those conservative tendancies, and he did, for a while anyway, but we encounter some difficulties, and jumps right back in to that, he is cluelss. If you heave the ball 50-60 yards down field, the chances of them returning an interception for a touchdown are pretty remote, and unless they took it all the way back, they would not have had time to get a field goal off. Did we lose the game beacuse of this? No, but al of these little things add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bout just the opposite? Jauron thinks the other coach is just as bad as him & figures that either he will call the TOs or they'll be so dumb as to have the clock expire b4 they kick the figgie.
